Suleiman Abba, former
inspector-general of police, took many by surprise when he led what could be
considered a prayer session at the national secretariat of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Abuja on Monday.

Abba sought to contest the Jigawa
central senatorial district election under the platform of the party in 2019
but was disqualified shortly before the primary.

He stormed the party headquarters
to register his displeasure with the leadership of APC for screening him out of
the race.

Addressing journalists after
this, Abba prayed to God to remove those officialswho are “hell-bent to destroying the vision
and legacy of the party”.

“You are aware that a list was
released where I was duly cleared and another list was released without my
name,” he said.

“This is not the time for too
much talk; this is time forprayers and
I want you to join me in this prayer. The prayer is this: Almighty God , any
person copying you and your power should not be in the headquarters of this
APC. Almighty God, if there is already one, you know what to do so that you
don’t allow him continue copying you.

“Almighty God, any person
claiming to be an officer of the APC if he will not work with the vision and
mission of the APC, almighty God don’t allow him to use the demon style to
destroy the party.”

Former President Goodluck
Jonathan removed Abba from office after the 2015 election. He was accused of
hobnobbing with President Muhammadu Buhari.
